PLAYED FOR YOU

Lumacorsa

Snails in the arena

Snails from all over the place or even the galaxy meet and race each other and bets are made on the winners of the race.

For the races you use a total of 100 snail cards: Each of this cards shows two halves like a domino card, one one end a snail marked with a number is depicted, on the other end nothing at all or a snail shell with one of several different markings.

The cards for the arena are laid out in order of their numbers. Then you run five races, each of these races is made up from sprints, that is,. Tricks. In each of those races players draw cards from the stack, starting with three cards for the first race and adding one card per race to seven cards for the fifth race.

When the cards are drawn each player bets how many springs he well win, from 0 to the number of cards in hand, and places his snail on the corresponding arena spot. Then in turn you play one card, snail up, and ignore the other half; then you can play a second card, now shell side up. Then you modify - when appropriate - the value of the snail by the shell card: +1, -1, x2, any value from 1-0, the snails wins or loses automatically or swap cards. If you then have the highest value you win the sprint and take all snail cards, that is, the cards played first. If you played a second card this is now turned snail up for your new snail card and you can again play a card for a shell card. When all springs have been played you score for filled bets.

Lumacorsa is a cute version of Wizard, family-friendly, at the same time more predictable and more tactical due to the shell cards, nicely designed and quickly played.
